Jordanlund removed a post in [email protected] because I, not even the post author, disagreed with his view of how moderation should work.

For extra pettiness, he removed my comments before removing the whole post.

    Let me explain it like this… If you come at me with a shitty attitude, I have ZERO obligation to treat you with kindness and I absolutey will not. Again, don’t like it, get fucked.

    OTOH, many, many times people have PM’d me and said “Hey, I don’t think this is right, can you look at it?” and I’ll reverse it or politely explain why not.

    For example, someone had a comment removed for “inciting domestic violence”. It was an example of a loaded question, the whole “when did you stop beating your wife?” thing. So I restored it and went to the mod and explained “no, no, that’s not an actual call for domestic abuse, it’s literally an example of a dishonest question” with the supporting link.

    I think the mod in question just wasn’t familiar with the colloquialism, eh, it happens.

    In the case of Zaktor calling our community rules “bullshit”, yeah, fuck that guy.

      What you don’t seem to understand is that responding to negativity with negativity is not what makes this PTB. That’s a fairly normal response. What makes this PTB is deciding to use your mod powers as a means to inflict negativity on people, inflicting punishment on people not because of the rules, but because you feel like it. You explicitly admitted to doing this: “Now I’m removing it just to spite you”.

          No, it isn’t. Exactly this mindset is why we call it “power-tripping” because you think the powers given to you to enforce rules are “fair fucking game” to use as a tool to inflict negativity.

          Respond with negativity if you wish, but leave your mod powers out of it. Invoking mod powers to punish someone who hasn’t broken the rules is definitionally abuse of power.

              attack me

              Youve read my challenge by the code d’ebatemebro. If you wish to show that you are not a coward, know that i am in southern california. Choose a location and time, or be silent on matters of implied ‘honor’.

              not going yo (…) let you assholes say what you want

              By silencing and banning it. Fuck i hope you’re never in a position of power.

              unchallenged

              Funny you should use that word, with a challenge already issued, and no response yet given. Almost like youre not even all talk.

              Edit: if you’re still in portland i think i can get a direct train or a ride with a friend who semi-regularly makes that trip. Or maybe a boat. I don’t mean to choose the venue for you, of course, only saying you don’t have to go far.

      Yeah bro, im’a come at you. It’s time to fucking throw hands (at our keyboards) and settle matters of sacred honor by terms of the ancient code d’ebatemebro

      Fuckin fight me, you, and your second; ben shapiro. I declare the weapon; we shall argue in rhyme! It is yours by terms of the code d’ebatemebro to declare time and location. Unless you’re a coward.

      shitty attitude

      Well im glad you don’t have one of those. An attitude is good by virtue of being yours.

      our

      Whose?

      questioned the rules! How dare they!

      Do i even need to explain this?
